The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

IEXPLORE.EXE Processes Pegging CPU at 100% Utilization

Zones: Internet Explorer Web Browser, Web Browsers, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP, Internet Explorer, XP SP2, IE 6.0

I have a few systems that are at a constant 100% CPU usage. When I look at the processes I find that either one, two, or four IEXPLORE.EXE processes are causing it. If there is just one, then it is taking up 100%, if two then each is taking up 50%, if four then each is taking up 25%, etc. The IEXPLORE.EXE processes do not represent open browsers - there can be no Internet browsers open at all and I will still have the IEXPLORE.EXE processes running. I have tried scanning with Nod32 Antivirus and Spybot. Only a few systems are affected and several are running fine, and the few that are affected are in different locations and run differing types of software so there is no obvious common piece of 3rd party software causing it. I have searched other threads on Experts Exchange about this and tried their suggestions with no results as of yet.

On another thread, I saw a suggestion by one of your experts to post the contents of the IEXPLORE thread using Process Explorer. The contents of the thread are below if it will help:
ntoskrnl.exe+0x5909
!CoRegisterClassObject+0xad6
!CoWaitForMultipleHandles+0xdd37
!CoUninitialize+0x52
!RI_MakeRegKeyName+0xa5
!XmlTree::Get+0x3213
ntdll.dll!LdrShutdownProcess+0x142
!IsValidLocale+0x8eb
!ExitProcess+0x14
!Ordinal211+0xc140
!RegisterWaitForInputIdle+0x49

Any ideas would be appreciated.
